Arsenal have a history of paying "top dollar" for "stars" to sit on the bench.
Mezut Ozil just left for Fenerbahce carrying a big full sack and wearing a mask/striped jumper a la Dennis The Menace.
I had a feeling some while ago that this situation would develop as it has. Maty Ryan is a good shot stopper and distributor of the ball but his weakness was on defending crosses into the eighteen yard box. He always gave me heart palpitations when the opposition attacked.m
